The Mark III you've depicted shows a pistol on which the front sight has
been removed and the sight's tapped/threaded hole used to hold on the
muzzle device. If there are set screws involved, they are hard to see.
Also, it looks as if that muzzle break doesn't have the usual array of
small round holes in its top.

I haven't seen any factory Mark III's with the factory dimples you
mentioned.

The money simply flows along an established path.

I know the state would like to collect taxes wherever they can but
there are limits to their ability. Get over it.

Seriously, I've burned through a lot of ammo in the past
month, and
haven't done any serious reordering.

The three brands of .223 plinking ammo on the right are
pretty much the
same in terms of proper cycling and target results. The
Wolf Gold in the
middle is .27-.28 a round, the least expensive. As far as I
can tell, it
shoots the same as the slightly more expensive American
Eagle on the right.

I'm trying out the CCI "Quiet" in the middle, on top of the
Mini Mags,
in my "silenced" .22LR semi-auto rifle. It's a pretty weak
round and
I've had a few cycling failures with it, but not many. I'll
see how it
works in my semi-auto pistol, once I get the barrel back.
The little red
doohickey on top of the CCI boxes is a thumb loading assist
device for
the Ruger mags.

I'm down to my last box of .38 Specials. Not sure I am
going to order
any more. That's a speedloader on top of the PMC ammo
boxes...with six
rounds of Honady Critical Defense ammo in .357 MAG. It's a
good
anti-zombie round.

Sounds like a hobby you enjoy!

Wal Marts sells .38 Specials at a good price. There's one
over near you.


According to a neighbor who buys ammo at Walmart, he's paying
a lot more
than I do from mail order sources, even when you roll in
shipping. I
believe I paid $13 a box for 50 rounds of .38 Special the
last time I
bought some. Neighbor bought .223 Federals at Walmart, paid
nearly .50 a
round. They are about .30 a round mail order. Best of all,
you don't
have to deal with Walmart.

Wal Mart sells .223 from various makers at various prices,
just as do the internet folks. I've yet
to see *anything* on the internet cheaper than the same stuff
at Wal Mart, especially if shipping is
additional.


It's ok John.. It was only a harrytale...

Dunno, I see some pretty good ammo prices online and they seem
to have
most stuff in stock these days.

Oh, I'm sure there are more choices online than at Wal Mart, but
Wal Mart, at least here, has much
more of a selection than Krause suggests. And, that's especially
true of .223. Seems like that's all
they have sometimes.



My neighbor reports that Walmart has two types of .223 ammo:

On occasion, decent Federal in brass cases with non-ferrous
bullets, at
about .50 a round. Same ammo, .32 a round on line.

****ty Russian "Tula" and variants, steel cased with ferrous
bullets.
Cheaper than the Federal, eats your barrel.

According to the neighbor, Walmart typically has .45 ACP ammo,
usually
has 9 mm ammo, never has .357 MAG ammo, and if it has .22LR ammo,
it's
the cheap bulk stuff.

And of course buying on line means you're not buying at Walmart.

I wouldn't be surprised if the locals in your neck of the woods are
hoarding all the ammo they can.
That enables them to take pictures of all their ammo to post on the
internet. It's kind of like a
'big dick' thing, as I'm sure you're aware. Whoever's got the
biggest pile wins.



Hoarding? Hardly. We Southern Maryland Yankee Rednecks shoot our
ammo.
This week, I bought 1000 rounds of Wolf Gold at .28 a round, plus
$16
for shipping. That was $296 for 1000 rounds for brass cased, FMJ
non-ferrous ammo, or 29.6 a round, including shipping. Similar
Federal
ammo at Walmart would have cost just under $500, plus sales tax.

And your little buddy calls *me* a 'gun nut'! I'll bet even jps is
proud of you.



Hey, I saved $200+ by not shopping at Walmart.


Hey you saved $50,000 by not paying taxes!

Yesterday I checked. Our local Wal Mart had over a dozen different
boxes of .223 - different makes,
quantities, and prices.



According to my down the street neighbor, who buys ammo at our two
local walmarts, the chain does occasionally have decent quality .223
Federal plinking ammo at about 50 cents a round, and the rest of the
.223 ammo usually is the ****ty "Russian" stuff, with steel cases and
ferrous bullets, at a much lower price and sold under several brand
names, including Wolf and Tula.

According to my app, the closest walmart store had the following ammo
in stock in calibers that interest me:

Federal-Lightning-22LR-40-Grain-Solid-Ammunition 0002946505


TULAMMO-.223-Remington-Full-Metal-Jacket-55-grain-Ammunition-20-rounds
0081495001115

The Dunkirk store had the same TULAMMO crap.

Now, the stores did have a lot of other caliber rifle ammo and a
decent selection of pistol ammo, but no .357 MAG

Cabelas came through. I picked up my can of 350 Brass 115grain FMJ 9MM ammo yesterday. Cost me $94.99 before tax. If I got the math right that is about 27.1 cents per round. I consider that a good buy. I now have just over 500 rounds of 9MM. Next on my list is a good deal on some 7.62 x 39 ammo for my SKS. I want to build that up to at least 500 rounds also.

To be honest, I think the internet is going to kill guns and mortar
ammo sales too. Guys who just want a box or two a year will still go
to Walmart or Bass Pro but if you shoot a lot and buy in bulk. The net
will kill them every time. That will be particularly true if you are
not shooting a commodity caliber that a B&M store can sell in some
volume.
Even 40 years ago, we were dealing with a regional distributor for our
shotgun shells because we were buying in volume. It was saving us
35-40% from the discount stores (like Kmart at the time) and way less
than any mom and pop gun store


Unless the out of state internet sellers are offering huge discounts,
it's not really financially worthwhile in Maryland to buy readily
available pistols on line because the local FFLs add about $75 for their
fee for filing the Maryland paperwork. Rifles, though, are handled by
the FFLs for $10. I buy through a local dealer who has a nice store and
who charges me fair prices for firearms. His distributors seem to have
access to about any new firearm that interests me.

Gee I thought everyone was saying this was "a few dollars". The truth
finally comes out ... as it always does eventually.

A friend has an FFL. Last couple of pistols I bought he handled for free.
